# Multilingual transcription

> Transcribe meetings in multiple languages

## Language modes

Your workspace admin can set the transcription language mode in **Settings > Workspace**:

| Mode             | What it covers                                                                         |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **English**      | Highest accuracy for English-only conversations                                        |
| **Multilingual** | Supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese in the same session |

## When to use each mode

* **English mode**: use when your meetings are entirely in English for the best accuracy
* **Multilingual mode**: use when participants speak different languages in the same meeting

<Tip>
  Multilingual mode handles language switching within a single conversation. You don't need to set a language per speaker.
